THERE IS NO SPACE—CREATE YOURS - PART II
THERE IS NO SPACE—CREATE YOURS — PART II You Will Hear “Thereʼs No Space” Throughout Your Life. KEEP PUSHING UNTIL YOU CREATE YOUR SPACE. What should you do when someone denies you what you believe is rightfully yours? Walk away? Fight? Compromise? Forgive? Or create another path entirely? In THERE IS NO SPACE—CREATE YOURS — PART II, Dr. Abhishek Gilara explores this difficult question through his own philosophy of karma, persistence and responsibility, alongside timeless lessons drawn from the Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita. At the centre of the book stands Lord Krishnaʼs powerful instruction to Arjuna: तावषु कालेषु मामनुर यु च। मिपर्तमनोबुद्धमार्मेवैसंशयम्॥ Remember Me—and fight. But what does “fight” mean in modern life? Not aggression. Not revenge. Not turning every disagreement into a battle. It means knowing when peace is wisdom—and when silence begins strengthening injustice. It means distinguishing ego from legitimate rights. It means using persuasion, negotiation, strategy and proportionate action before confrontation. It means becoming worthy of the space you demand. And sometimes, it means refusing to remain dependent upon one gatekeeper and creating an entirely new door. This book moves from Arjunaʼs hesitation at Kurukshetra to the battles we face every day—in family, business, leadership, society and within ourselves. Its message is simple: Seek peace first. Remember God. Perform your karma. Stand for dharma. Become capable. Create your space. But Dr. Gilara takes the philosophy one step further. Because the greatest victory is not merely entering the room that once excluded you. It is reaching a position where you can create better rooms for others. Donʼt merely fight for a chair. Build the table. Build the room. Build an institution. Become so capable, different and persistent that the world has no choice but to make room for you. And when it finally does—never forget what it felt like to stand outside. THERE IS NO SPACE—CREATE YOURS. Then create more.
